You can use Effects by adding “Filter/Effect” Layers in your game’s Rooms, which apply the filters to all layers that are below them. Initially there will be a selection of preset Filters that the users can choose from but we will be adding Effects and more to this over time.
#Game maker studio 2 layers update
The main feature arriving with update 2.3.6 is Filters and Effects! This feature gives you the ability to apply a pre-programmed Filter (basically a shader) or Effect (a shader with control code) to quickly and easily enhance the graphical output of your games. This change will provide us more feedback than ever before, allowing us to better optimise your GameMaker Studio 2 experience. On top of this, Beta updates will also be more frequent, with 2 releases a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Though these will be smaller, we are looking to maintain or even increase the amount of features and big fixes released. Moving from four quarterly to ten monthly releases a year allows us to provide you with more regular updates. Good news, GameMaker is changing to monthly releases.
